Actionscript to Torquescript, help me please :)
by Fredrik Johansson · in Technical Issues · 11/01/2006 (3:02 am) · 3 replies
Hi, I'm hoping you could help me with pointing me in the right direction.
I'm a designer at heart and also know a lot of programming in flash. I use flash a lot in my daily work, using flash actionscript which is built on the same syntax as torquescript if I understand it correctly?
Anyways, I want to start getting a hang of how it works with scripting in torque game builder, so do you know any good tutorials that covers the fundamentals of how scripting works?
For example, In flash I'm used to being able to move the timeline and objects to make things happen, so I can place graphical elements this way, however in torque it seems to be working a lot different, with you having to place all graphic elements on the same "frame"? and also control these using external scripting..
Could anyone point me in the right direction so that I can learn the fundamentals?
Thanks..

Check the tutorials that come with TGB... those should get you started.

Moving things with a timeline animation in flash is not programming (you are posting in a programming forum here). When i program something in Flash, there isn't even anything on the stage. Everything is in the library, with external classes linked to it. TGB functions in a similar way... the step from actionscript to torquescript isn't a very big step. Unless you are coding actionscript 2.0, which is OO, then TS can be a little confusing at first becuase you have to take a step backwards. But once you get over that, you can work as quickly in TGB/TGE as you are used in Flash.Check the tutorials that come with TGB... those should get you started.
